The apartment was comfortable and convenient. Host was accomodating and added fresh flowers from her garden. The halls, elevator, and hot water (all building, not host issues) left a lot to be desired.

Nice location

The place was in a very central and good location. It was quiet and spacious. There was two TV's, netfli x and all needed appliances. However, the place was a bit worn out and not that clean. The bed sheets smelled parfymed and bit musty. Some stuff didn't work at all. When booking a place from this website, would assume stuff to work.
